been is basically they might start dealing with russia themselves and not get the united states states involved they may decide that they're no longer going to help us for example in a place like afghanistan remember nato invoked article five only once and that was one the united states was attacked on nine eleven they've already had over a thousand nato member so soldiers died in in afghanistan and also the support that they provided to us in other middle east operations like syria for example so i think this is what what what could happen or if they do what they won't work together with us and so behold will not be greater than the sum of the parts of course he's going to see president putin in finland in a few days do you think that that has any bearing on the tone of his comments that nato well again if it was i mean he basically i think hopefully is trying to say we shouldn't be you know helping
6:34 am
helping russia but then he has said well yeah but i get along much better with you know putin and i deal with a lot of these countries i'm dealing with so he's sending conflicting messages and everybody hopes that he doesn't do anything foolish like he did in the singapore summit with kim by agreeing for example to take american troops out of europe or canceling you know u.s. nato exercises let's talk about the money very briefly if you don't mind there are some countries whose economies simply wouldn't allow them to raise defense spending to four percent of g.o.p. as we know but in many of them can't even reach that two percent and also it's not even clear what they would spend it on that gives the sense that donald trump doesn't quite understand the economies of the world. well there's no doubt about it in fact we don't spend four percent of our g.d.p.
6:35 am
